No surprise here. Trump wins in NH with 34%. Pretty much what the polls were saying. Surprise of the night (or not considering his last debate performance) is Rubio dropping to a 5th place finish with just 10%. Cruz and Jeb! are tied for 3rd.

‘Why Are These Other Guys Not Saying It?’: Rush Limbaugh Reacts to Marco Rubio’s Debate Performance

It might very well be true but Rubio shoe horned it into his weak reply to the question about his inexperience. It was a canned response that sounded like a canned response. Repeating it ad nauseum certainly didn't help his case and it shows in his NH results. I don't care for Rubio. I find him a smarmy little turd and would have real trouble voting for him.

Several thoughts: First Rubio has one of the most conservative voting records in Congress. So if a person is a conservative, I am not sure how they have a problem with him other than his stupid gang of 8 fiasco. If you want to talk about a blunder, that was a BLUNDER.

Rubio is perhaps the most articulate of all the Republican candidates. Yes he misspoke last Saturday at the debate, but I doubt if there is perfection in any of the candidates.

I am convinced that he can beat Hillary Clinton and it appears that he might be the only one who can do it. So unless a person is looking forward to Queen Hillary, I am not sure how you cannot like Rubio. And while I personally favor Ted Cruz over Rubio, I don’t dislike Rubio and actually think he might be our best chance to win in November.

If Sanders is the democrat nominee, I am not sure if Rubio has the best chance of beating him. Against Clinton, he will beat her badly with the younger voters. However, Sanders looks like he could seriously erode that margin over Rubio and that might cost Rubio the election against Sanders. Therefore, if Sanders is the democrat nominee conservatives might be better positioned with someone other than Rubio.

Way too much emphasis is put on these debates. They are necessary, good and informative. They should go a long way in influencing a person’s choice. However, when people pick on one single event or sound bite and make their decision based upon that event alone it just proves our Founding Fathers were right in saying that the country should never have direct elections for President.

Name one college that will choose their next president by declaring they have an opening and inviting anyone who wants the job to come to the arena on Saturday night where all the students will attend and take part in a debate on why they are the best for the job. Then after the debate, the STUDENTS will vote on who they want for their (the next) college president. It is a bad system, but like so many of the systems the Founders gave us, we have screwed it up. And that is just one more reason that people need to understand the point of Rubio's so called "canned response". We need to understand that many of our systems have been broken over the course of the last century so the socialists can finally put their utopian system of socialism in place. THE SOCIALISTS KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING, BUT WE ARE CLUELESS ON HOW THEY ARE DOING IT.

But the main point is the part about Obama knowing what he is doing and he is doing exactly what he said he was going to do and that is to fundamentally change America. He is turning the country into a pure socialist country. And it will not stop with him, look at Bernie Sanders and all the other socialist democrats lined up behind him to do exactly the same thing. IF WE DON’T RECOGNIZE WHAT THESE PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO DO and merely support the candidate that we like best, we are screwed. The message has got to get out what the real problem is.

If dumbass voters think that merely electing Trump as president will solve things because he is going to make AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, we are doomed to failure. Merely changing one person in the Oval Office will not solve anything. We have to understand the REAL problem and that is exactly what Rubio said it was.

You are correct in the scenario Obama and his followers are turning this country into a socialist state.

Does any of this sound like what is happening to the United States?

1. Healthcare — Control healthcare and you control the people2. Poverty — Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live.3. Debt — Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.4. Gun Control — Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state.5. Welfare — Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income).6. Education — Take control of what people read and listen to — take control of what children learn in school.7. Religion — Remove the belief in the God from the Government and schools.8. Class Warfare — Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor.

Keep in mind all these things were/are being done to "help" the people. BAA HUMBUG

Consider #'s 2 and 5 and it will become clearer why after almost eight consecutive years of immense wealth redistribution it will be very difficult for a Republican conservative to defeat Democratic progressive/socialist.

Take a page out of basic science .. water like electricity will always take the path of least resistance and as we have seen a lot of people do the same.

Does anybody really think a person who says, stand on your own two feet, provide your own wealth and happiness through the sweat of your brow can defeat a person who says to the people, "sit on your ass and we will take from those who steal from you and take care of you"?

Spot on – I suggest that people take a look at the Communist Manifesto:

Then look at your list above along with the laundry list of things the progressive liberals have been pushing for the last century. The list is endless; the following are just a few suggested data points:

Those are just a few, make your own list and then go to the Communist Manifesto and you will be able to assign most of them to one of the 10 planks. We need to understand that beginning over 100 years ago during the great progressive era the socialist movement began in earnest in this country. When they found out it was not going to be an immediate transformation to their socialist utopia they launched their PROGRESSIVE movement to reach their goals. It has taken over 100 years, but they almost have their 10 point Communist manifesto in place.

Do some research on the Intercollegiate Socialist Society. In my opinion, that was the seed for today’s PROGRESSIVE movement. You will see that the ISS changed its name several times. It has evolved from the ISS to the League for Industrial Democracy (that is when they replaced REPUBLIC with the term DEMOCRACY in our everyday language) to the Students for a Democratic Society to the Weather Underground. Surprisingly you will find Obama’s very good friend and cohort Bill Ayres is that “family tree”.

There are no surprises when you pull back the cover and look. Unfortunately there are few people who really understand what is happening and I think one of them is Marco Rubio. Perhaps that is because his parents are refugees from a tyrannical SOCIALIST regime.

When you look into the ISS notice what business many of its leaders were in and you will understand why the press and media are attacking Rubio so hard over his so called “canned response”. If you connect the dots, you will understand. I for one condemn the low information voters who support the press and media in their attempt to silence a conservative who knows what the REAL PROBLEM in this country is.
